How does one control the way Organizer's File->Save command behaves with a ProjectWise IPS file?


Solution

IP_ORG_PW_UPDATE_SERVERCOPY_ON_SAVE controls the way Organizer's File->Save command behaves with a ProjectWise IPS file. This variable also determines whether or not you are prompted to check in the IPS file when Organizer exits (or switches to another file).

When set to "true" the File->Save command will save the IPS file to disk and update the ProjectWise file on the server. Also, Organizer will automatically check in the IPS file, and free all the files referenced by the IPS file, when it exits. This has been the traditional behavior.

When set to "false" the File->Save command will save the IPS file to disk but not update the ProjectWise file on the server. To update the file in ProjectWise, a separate File->Update Server Copy command has been provided. Also, when this variable is set to "false", Organizer will not automatically check in the IPS file when it exits. Instead you will be prompted to check in the file. Regardless of whether the IPS file is checked in or not, the files referenced by the IPS file will be freed.
The default value is "true".
